Welcome Swallows. Spotted in Caroline Springs, Melbourne, Australia at a man made wet-land lake. Tiny birds and quick moving!
They like areas of lawn, grass and water for hawking at speed and snatching insects on the wing. #birds #australia #melbourne

Landslide historic victory for Labor in our Australian Federal Election. Biggest surprised what that Apparently liberals thought they would do well in Victoria. Pfft! Federal Liberals forget how Labor saved lives. It was a harsh lockdown but we were kept safe. #binnight

A life time ago - well actually up until 2019 - I used to have a textile design studio in Kensington at Ironside Studios. I went to my old cafe haunt “The Premises” and reminisced to myself about that era of my life. Over a big brekkie and a latte. #latte #coffee #kensington

Nice and cosy in my Victorian Duet ribbed scarf. I love the lace knit edge and crochet trim. I added a coordinating grey marle yarn from the same yarn brand range. Thanks @franklinhabit.bsky.social for the pattern! #showmeyourknits #knitting

My @franklinhabit.bsky.social Victorian Era KAL scarf is growing! I decided to use a contrast blue gradient yarn for the 2nd half. There is a similar pink purple in the blue yarn which pops with the pink mauve of the 1st half. Fun knitting 🧶 #knitting #knitsky #handknitting #showmeyourknits

Beautiful Magpie feather markings. Love to use as inspiration for a textile knit fabric. A shawl or cape?

I love Budgies! We had a green one growing up called “Buntie the budgie” my cousin breeds them, my grandfather bred them. (Both sides of family). Would love to see a huge flock like this in the wild. #budgie #birds #australia #nativefauna
In honour of long videos on Bluesky here’s a long video of the best bird in the world - budgies!
One of the most common birds in arid Australia, big flocks of these birds are such a thrill - the sound of their wingbeats and happy chirrups is so gorgeous and exhilarating!🪶

I’ve revived my old Sony Walkman WM-FX415. It’s not a collectable model but I replaced the belt & have it working again! I’m listening to Hunters & Collectors… Human Frailty on one side. The tape says Gangajang on Side 2 but it’s “Jaws of life”… 🧵 #walkman #cassette #huntersandcollectors #jawsoflife

I can’t help myself - I’ve joined a KAL with the wonderful @franklinhabit.bsky.social I’m enjoying the process & the squishy purl predominant rib. I’m using the Norwegian purl technique which is fun with this scarf proving to be great practice of it! Link to pattern is in thread 🧵 🧶 #showmeyourknits

Cicada chirping outrageously at the temperature being 30.6°C at 10.30pm! So loud! I swear it is in my room. If I stomp on the floor boards it stops. #hotweather #heatwave #melbourne #australia #cicada

Update on my Kaffe Fasset Philodendron Rowan jacket! I unraveled back to the garter rib. I made a few too many fiddly mistakes to fix. Easier to start again. I’m now at row 15 and much happier with my tension and intarsia technique. 🧶 #knitting #showmeyourknits #knitsky #handknitting #kaffefasset
